“…you must always be willing to come to the point of giving up your own convictions and traditional beliefs. Don’t ask God to test you…Abraham did not make any such statement—he simply remained true to God, and God purified his faith.” -Oswald Chambers We often get so stuck in our own predispositions that we are completely and utterly blinded to what God has to show...
Cross-centered
A refreshing reminder for me today. I have twice read since I woke up about Christ and the cross, reminding me that He and the cross being the focal point of my life.
Jesus, bearing his cross, went forth to suffer without the gate… The crown of glory will follow the cross of separation. A moment’s shame will be well recompensed by eternal honour; a little while of witness-bearing will seem...

Forge: Devastating news. →
I just received word that Serenity Tea Bar & Cafe is in deep risk of going out of business. My friend TJ was told by the owner that they have 30 days. They are looking to relocate, but as of right now, things are too tight.
Serenity was my place of, well, peace. The food was delicious, as was…
Ah!!!! This is crucial. Tea shops are having a tough time right now. TeaRex in Charlotte...

“Understanding is the one-dimensional comprehension of the intellect. It leads...”
– I found this in a journal of mine. I wrote it on Sunday, the 11th of January 2007 (quite a while back). Always interesting to unearth things like this. Any thoughts?
“When a gentleman speaks, he hopes to sound wise, or—at the very...”
– I am currently reading “As A Gentleman Would Say”. One particular maxim introduced in the beginning of the book considerably grabbed my attention and brought me to think of how I should act throughout not only my every day, but also my life.

Going to Nicaragua
Summer 2007 I had the amazing opportunity to go to Jamaica on a choir service project. It was an incredible experience that I love to reminisce about. I learned so much and loved getting to know the natives. While there, my colleagues and I were able to not only put on shows at a variety of venues, but also build relationships, coach sports camps, and renovate the sports complex of a school...

Twitter for Beginners
Before I get started on this brief crash course in Twitter, it is important to talk about what Twitter is. Twitter describes itself as “a service for friends, family, and co–workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing?” This is true and most people see Twitter this way. However, Twitter can be used...

WatchI just watched this talk (on Boxee) and thought it to be particularly helpful. Richard St. John after seven years of research has narrowed success down to eight key principles that come from the succesful people themselves.
If we have the passion necessary to drive us forward, we will succeed.

Tea's to Start Your Day With →
Who doesn’t enjoy waking up to a nice hot cup of tea? In my strong aversion to coffee but occasional, more than it should be, late nights, I need an extra boost of caffeine black teas so tenderly offer. Maybe I made a full breakfast and want to feel a little more sophisticated. Or perhaps it is frigid outside and I need something to warm me up on my way to class. Any of these reasons easily...
